The last few weeks have been filled with concerts, ceremonies, and other events. Lots of goodbyes and busy getting the school ready for the summer. Before we left, we hugged many people goodbye and our administrators and our superintendent gave us big thumbs up for our work this year. It has felt wonderful to be in place we are so loved and appreciated.
We had a last outing with some staff at a super fun dance club where we acted like 21 year olds again (only to wake up the next day and remember that we are 30 year olds). And finally, a wonderful 30th bday dinner with 15 of our friends that were still here.
As for this year.... after getting home from school on Friday we both sat on the couch for a couple hours in shock at how fast it all went and tried to process the year. Instead of writing a lengthly blog about it, we thought we'd put together a slide show that can sum it all up better.
Love to you all and we'll try to put a few updates from the British Isles and Scandinavia as we travel this summer. Otherwise-- see you for year two!!

The first video is of medium quality for slower download speeds ...
This one is a larger file, but better quality. Let it buffer or maybe you've got a real fast internet connection ...
Breathtaking! enw
ReplyDeleteSO awesome you two!
ReplyDeletePhoto journalism looks like a potential second career for both of you. Hard not to be a proud parent after watching highlights of the first year.

Hello Rachel! I'm in Indiana visiting Elizabeth and just watched your photo story. I so enjoyed the video, and I'm delighted to see you sharing your gifts and talents with kids on the other side of the world. Looks like you are having a life-changing experience. Best wishes for year two! Maureen C-D
